Why AI Could Turn Small Law Firms Into Billion-Dollar Businesses

“Most people think of AI as, 'Oh, you're going to fire everyone and cut costs.' And in reality: 'No, if I use Eve, I make a lot more money for my company.'”

Eve claims to have helped one LA firm reduce caseload from 100 clients per lawyer to five, suggesting dramatic efficiency gains. The signal is a16z's thesis that vertical AI agents can unlock billion-dollar businesses in historically software-resistant industries like contingency law.
